Then you will need to renew your ID before you can have that affidavit executed.

It should work (even though expired). You may want to find another notary.

Alternately, you can have two witnesses attest to who you are in front of the notary. You may want to try that.

I understand the importance of needing an affidavit of identity. Are you looking to obtain this affidavit for a specific purpose?

For a birth certificate to obtain a driver license.

Have you explored alternative forms of identification that could be used in place of a valid license for the affidavit?

My notary told me I could only use an ID.

Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they'll be able to help with your identification issue.

No, I believe that's it.

Do you have an identification card?

Yes, but it is expired by 3 years.

That is fine. So long as it shows who you are, that should work.

Does that answer your question today?

I went to my notary and was told that since it is expired, it will not work.
